1. Introduction

Thank you for choosing the Wiltec Portable Gas Heater. This manual provides essential information for the safe and efficient operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of your new heater. Please read all instructions carefully before use and retain this manual for future reference.

This heater is designed for indoor use, providing adjustable heat with three power levels (1.4 kW, 2.8 kW, and 4.2 kW). It operates with LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas), including butane and propane, and features integrated wheels for easy mobility, piezoelectric ignition, and advanced safety systems.

2. Important Safety Instructions

Failure to follow these safety instructions can result in fire, explosion, carbon monoxide poisoning, property damage, personal injury, or death.

• Indoor Use Only: This appliance is designed exclusively for indoor use in well-ventilated areas. Do not use outdoors or in bathrooms, bedrooms, or recreational vehicles.
• Ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation when the heater is in operation. Do not use in unventilated spaces.
• Gas Type: Use only butane or propane gas as specified. Do not use natural gas or any other fuel.
• Gas Leaks: Before each use and after changing the gas cylinder, check all gas connections for leaks using a soapy water solution. Never use an open flame to check for leaks. If you smell gas, immediately turn off the gas supply, ventilate the area, and do not operate the heater or any electrical switches.
• Clearance: Maintain a safe distance from flammable materials (curtains, furniture, paper, etc.). Do not place objects on or near the heater.
• Stability: Always place the heater on a firm, level surface. The integrated anti-tip system will automatically shut off the gas supply if the heater is accidentally knocked over.
• Oxygen Depletion Sensor (ODS): The heater is equipped with an ODS system that will automatically shut off the heater if oxygen levels in the room become too low. If this occurs, ventilate the area immediately and do not restart the heater until the cause has been identified and corrected.
• Flame Supervision Device (DSL): This device ensures that gas flow is cut off if the flame extinguishes.
• Moving the Heater: Do not move the heater while it is operating or hot. Allow it to cool down completely before relocating.
• Children and Pets: Keep children and pets away from the heater. The surfaces become hot during operation.
• Maintenance: Do not attempt to repair or modify the heater yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel.
• Gas Cylinder: Always store gas cylinders in a well-ventilated area, away from heat sources and direct sunlight.

4. Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the heater from its packaging. Inspect for any damage incurred during transit.
2. Positioning: Place the heater on a stable, level surface in the desired indoor location. Ensure there is adequate ventilation and maintain safe distances from walls and flammable objects.
3. Gas Cylinder Installation:

   • Open the rear panel of the heater.
   • Carefully place the gas cylinder (butane or propane, max 13 kg) into the designated compartment.
   • Connect the gas hose (not included) to the gas cylinder valve and then to the heater's gas inlet. Ensure all connections are tight and secure.
   • Attach the pressure regulator (not included) to the gas cylinder valve according to its instructions.
   • Perform a leak test: Apply a soapy water solution to all gas connections. If bubbles appear, there is a leak. Tighten connections or replace faulty parts. Do not use the heater if a leak is detected.
   • Close the rear panel.

5. Operating Instructions

1. Open Gas Supply: Slowly open the valve on the gas cylinder.
